The spy
I need to do a quick one before I set off to school. Mugging for the last paper which is on Saturday.
Anyways, I am really so annoyed with my colleague(s). It's like I don't know if it's a result of a generation gap or something else.
Woman colleague (lets call her T)
T was initially very nice and kind of treated me like a daughter. But honestly, she's a major tension party and that gets on people's nerves. I have a feeling that she's trying to act like the office manager who gets her nose busy with people's stuff. That is pretty annoying. Just for the records, I had a very soft corner for her because of the fact that she was a widow. Her husband passed away like 1 year ago and for some reason, the date his passed on has a very sentimental attachment towards me. So I really had a very very soft corner for her and I have always tried to bear with it.
Very recently I got to know that she was actually the second wife for her husband and their marriage was not registered. It was an illegal one. Basically it's like, she loved a married man and they got married within their social circle and she eventually bore him a kid. He didn't divorce his 1st wife and so, he technically had 2 wives. Her husband was a rich man - mind you, he has many famous establishments in Singapore but since she is an 'illegal' wife, she wasn't entitled to any of his properties, wealth and yea. She was at her wit's end, with no means, no experience of working and what not. My boss is a good family friend of theirs and he gave her a job and a rented roof to reside at.
I swear I feel so sad for all this but I cannot control my irritation whenever she behaves so badly. She's so jumpy and etc. Like for once, I had a client who had to sign an Affidavit and my boss had to attend to the court. So I told her to have a breakfast and come in roughly in an hour's time. When she asked me if he would be back by the time she get in, I suggested that she take her time and that I would call her to come into the office when he is back. So I was doing my work and I had to go to the toilet. I came back roughly about 10 minutes later and I saw that client inside and I was walking towards her. Suddenly T came from nowhere and barked at me infront of her. She went like "What is this Vithiya. How long do you want her to wait. Can you get her to sign" and blah blah. I swear I reached the peak of my irritation. So I barked at her back but you know, I reduced that anger level to about 25% (due to my soft corner for her) and told her "do you want me to get her to sign something with boss's review ?. Are you even aware that he has asked me to tell her to come in when he's back" ?!. She took great offence that I raised my voice to her and I felt bad. I spoke to boss and got the client to come back the next day. After that I went to apologise to her and she told me "nevermind ma. But she was complaining and asking me where you were and all. So I shouted at you to appease her". I was very annoyed with the client because she knew my arrangement with her. The very next day, she blamed my other colleague (an Old man) and said that he went 'crazy' when the client walked in because he didn't know what to do and he started complaining that I went to the toilet for 35 minutes. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK ?!".
So basically T went on pushing the blame to everyone else besides her. Then T even asked me why I had to bring my phone to the toilet. I was like "why shouldn't I ?". She went like "you went to toilet to speak on the phone right". I was like "whats the biggy ?! I have a phone and I have the liberty to do what I want to. I can bring it to the toilet, snap a picture of my shit and who are you to even comment on it ?!". But yea, she simply assumed that I bring my phone to the toilet because I hang on the phone and told me even if I don't have a pocket on my skirt, I need to put my phone into my "pocket".
Alright T is a major 'tension party' and she loves to jump into baseless conclusions. Like once, she forced me to change the password to my computer because she felt that there were spies in the office and how all the work in the office got stolen and what not. I was like how can changing my computer's password solve all this when I am not even the one who holds on to the admins rights in the office ?. So I transferred all the important documents from everybody's PC into a harddrive and passed it to boss. So there was once when the internet was down at my office and all we need was to refresh the IP address from the SingTel website. I spoke to them and that's what they told me. She insisted on asking them to come down and solve it. Both me and an IT colleague kept asking her for the password to the network so that we can easily solve it but she was like "No. You people might steal important details". I was like "with the password to an IP add ?". I mean c'mon la. All the most you can do it to connect to the internet network within a good radar not "steal details". So the person from SingTel came down (unnecessary costs) and I asked him for the IP password (she still refused to give it until the SingTel guy told her that if she wasn't giving, he cannot do anything). That SingTel guy was standing behind me as I reset the whole connection and problem was solved within 1 minute. The SingTel guy strictly told her how she could have solve the situation but suddenly, she went like "alamak, you people never even ask me for the password". I almost fainted when she replied like that. But nevermind, whatever.
T is in-charge of topping up water in the kettle, some accounting work and just to manage the peripheral stuff in the office but she prefers to stick her nose into people's affairs. To be honest, I am jam-packed with work to do and that's when she would force me to help her go to the bank to deposit money into the accounts. Once I told her off saying that I really had work to complete for the day and if I were to go to the bank today I would be done way later. Anyways, going to bank for her was just a favour so that she could hang on the phone with her friends or to relax by listening to songs. But no ! She was so irritated that I refused to go to the bank and she went on and complained to my boss saying that I was complaining that I had no work to do at all. I personally feel that banks are atrociously crowded from 12.30-2.30 and I am the sort who would prefer going to the bank after 3.30 to avoid the crowd. But she hates it. She would want me to go to the bank at 2.30 and end up coming back at 3.45 ! Such a fucking waste of time ! When I told her that banks are less crowded after 3.30, she got so angry and started assuming that I go at that time because I was meeting someone and chit-chatting with them. I don't know the story she comes up with man.
Recently I had to take leaves from work due to exams and I know that my colleagues are really way behind in terms of work. 1 colleague is close to hitting dementia and I know he has made too many mistakes and I had to step in to help him half the time and another colleague likes to distract himself with too many things and end up not doing his work. So with these 2 colleagues around and that T, I cannot trust someone to cover me until I was done. I mean, my stuff has alot of deadlines and if you were to breach it, it would simply end in alot of costs for the firm. So I wrote all the instructions in an email and sent it to everyone including my boss. Everyone found my email good. I mean I had specific instructions and I even told them of what to expect for the next few days and what to do and everything. When I came back, T showed a black face and so I thought something had happened in the office. She told me that the younger colleague didn't update my work and boss had to apologise to the Judge and pay cost. I was like "what the hell" - I had it all out in that email and I even messaged him to do it. T then suddenly shouted at my face "Look ah Vithiya, nobody likes your email. Everyone hates reading it. You think you're boss issit, to instruct us on what to do". I was like stunned. She told me then that everything was in a mess and that no one did anything in the office and she was working so hard to clear the mess (what mess - God knows because she's only in charge of accounts and she has no knowledge of the work we do).
I couldn't take it. I opened up to a colleague and he told me that since day out she had been over-exaggerating alot of things. Remember I mentioned something about me going to the toilet earlier into the entry ?. Well apparently that client walked in on that fateful day and was waiting for me. T walked in from the bank and looked at her and got so tensed and asked her why she was waiting. That client told her that she was waiting for me. T immediately got so worked up because I was not around and started throwing words and pestered everyone to ask where I was. She kept bugging the old colleague and he told her that I had gone to the toilet and she was like "ok, I want to go to the toilet to check now". That client was like "No, T, no need. I need to wait because I still have to wait for boss to review my documents. So it's ok". But T insisted on doing all that when I walked in and she raised her voice and yeap. So basically it was her own doing but she conveniently pushed the blame to the client and to that old colleague for God knows what reason.
I couldn't take all her shit and I went to speak to boss because I was that stressed out. Boss is a gem. Firstly he realised that I looked really stressed up and he was like motivating me to go against all tide just to achieve my dreams and to put aside every problem and focus on my exams. He even told me of his story on his Law degree and all. Such a gem of a man ! And then I told him about this problem and he told me that he does understand how tensed up she gets and how she over-exaggerates alot of things and he told us to understand her because she is feeling lonely and whatever she was doing is just bottled up emotions. She is so paranoid about my boss not meeting his achievements and her not having money to support her son if our business fails and so she does all this. I told boss that I have no intention to bitch about her and all but her doings are like causing conflicts among colleagues, unnecessary stress and all. Boss even told me that she had complained about that email because she felt annoyed that a "junior" was well versed with the work more than she was. I was like "blank". I didn't know what to say. So yes.
Boss spoke to her and she isn't happy. I walked into office yesterday and she showed me a real black face. I had to ask her for details on some accounts and she refused to answer me. Stress man. Hahaha.
The best thing was, I was trying to clear some some backdated work and realised that the old colleague had sent out 10 letters with no attachments to clients and all got back asking me where the attachments were and I had to like email, fax and send out all those with all those backdated work. Can die liao ! And all this while, T came behind me in the pretext of sending out a fax (the fax machine is behind me) and I caught her looking into my screen to spy on me. I mean it's easy right. I could see her reflection on my screen. I don't know what to do man. Stressed. Hahahhaa :P !
I fucking need to travel out man. I need a break. I need to find some people to travel to somewhere where I can like disconnect myself from all those bullshit that I am like doing through for the past few months. Really exhausted.
